Chronological sorting within artist and other help with basic setup

Thanks for providing a sample file. This file contains an ID3v2.3 TYER frame with an incorrect value 1967-09-01. The ID3v2.3 specification requires the TYER frame to have a four-digit value and for month and day information (if available) to be stored in the TDAT tag. Somewhat confusingly, the order in TDAT is DD-MM, so the TDAT tag should have the value 01-09.

MinimServer has detected this error while scanning your library. It has ignored the incorrect value and has written a warning message to the MinimServer log reporting the problem. It is useful to check the MinimServer log for error and warning messages. The simplest way to do this is to install MinimWatch on another computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) on your home network.

Ideally, Mp3tag should take care of writing a YYYY-MM-DD value into the correct ID3v2.3 frames but for some reason it isn't doing this. It is reading the incorrect TYER value from your file and showing it to you as "Year".

In ID3v2.4, this has changed and there is a new frame TDRC that can store a full YYYY-MM-DD value (or YYYY or YYYY-MM). If you convert your files to ID3v2.4 using Mp3tag, this should solve the problem.
